I posted something about bitstrips in the thread where people have been posting things about bitstrips. Quit trying to oppress me, dude.

So you weren't being a dick to me, you were being a dick to everyone in this thread who posted a strip they made that they thought was funny?

Why be a dick, then? Why not just let the thread about a subject you aren't interested in be while you do something else? I'm not into Kerbal Space Program but that doesn't mean I go into the thread and insult everyone who is.

So, a few weeks after Anita Sarkeesian launched her "Tropes vs Women in Video Games" Kickstarter and drew the ire of every misogynist fuckface the Internet over, some dudes launched an Indiegogo campaign for a series of videos entitled "Tropes vs Men in Video Games". The apparent idea of the series was to prove that Sarkeesian was asking for too much money, that it's not that hard to make a series of videos, that MEN were the real victims, etc.

Fast-forward a year. Tropes vs. Women in Video Games is two days away from releasing its first episode. As for Tropes vs. Men?

I'd feel a lot smugger about simultaneously pissing off Reddit, 4Chan (there was apparently a thread about the article in /v/,) and people who comment on Kotaku, but I honestly didn't contribute that much to the conversation. I told Burch that the character made me uncomfortable, I asked for clarification on his initial response, and I made a joke about one of his justifications. Sacco did all the heavy lifting.

To his credit, Burch was polite and receptive to the criticism (as you can probably tell from the article) so I don't really feel bad about participating in the conversation at all. It's just a bit of a headache when you see that a dude actually dusted off his two-years-dormant Twitter account to tell me what a fucking idiot I am

So Ben Kuchera of Penny Arcade Report and Erik Kain of Forbes' gaming coverage section got into a bit of a tiff yesterday on Twitter. I don't much care for Kain since he's basically the poster child of entitled, know-nothing gamers the internet over, and I think Forbes' gaming coverage is pretty shit even by the already-low standards of gaming journalism, so I made a couple tweets to that effect.

Kain ended up retweeting me and apparently 4Chan's /v/ hates Kuchera and anyone who supports him so I've been getting hate-tweetz pretty much all day. It's nothing much for me to get worked up about, but this latest one made me laugh a bunch for some reason. Maybe it's the tortured mutation of my twitter handle? I dunno, enjoy

EDIT: Apparently it was GiantBomb that had a big ol' hate-on for Kuchera, not /v/
